Most recent lesson-

Dumb thing: spend three hours fighting the PHD in 100 degree heat drilling holes for fence.

Smart thing: run to TSC for new auger. $140 and holes drill in seconds with no jumping up and down, putting water in hole, or choice words. Amazing what good center point and teeth will do to dig a hole. No wonder neighbor was so willing to loan the implement.
